Best in Remote Monitoring

The challenge

UPDATE: The project submission deadline has been extended to January 22, 2018 and Hologram has added some sweet goodies to each prize category - $100 Hologram data credit and the Hologram Advanced Kit with Raspberry Pi 3 SBC.

We have partnered with Hologram.io to bring you a brand new cellular gateway contest!

The Nova Cellular USB Modem is the newest piece of hardware announced by Hologram.io, a leading company dedicated to enabling worldwide connectivity. As the world of IoT grows, the ways our devices communicate is changing just as fast.

We want to see what you can accomplish using both the Nova Cellular USB Modemand the Raspberry Pi Zero W. Use cases for this pairing can include but are not limited to vehicle fleet/ride share monitoring, ocean tide tracking, remote controlling delivery drones, and more.

Using Hologram's Cellular Network via the Nova Cellular USB Modem allows for new ways to connect. The Nova supports all Debian based systems and all cellular generations and global bands including:

The announcement of the Nova is followed with Hologram's announcement of their new Python SDK. Python abstracts the complexity of cellular AT commands and will make working with the software much easier, allowing you to accomplish your project goals faster.
